Title: Whats going on
Post by: Elite Pete on 23 July 2009, 17:36:07
I wanted a front discs and pads kit today. Normally I just phone my local dealers in the morning and if they haven't got them in they will get them by the afternoon, not today, I had to phone 4 Vauxhall dealers and ended up driving to Crewe to get them.

europarts do my head in here, they order you something which takes a week then they find the ordered the wrong part or it's broke  >:(

Other day went in for a manifold gasket on a mondeo, got there big tear down the middle, took them yet another 2 days to order a new one  >:(

How much longer do you expect them to keep parts for clapped-out old jalopies? ;D

Thats only cos the Nantwich Jazz Festival has become so popular they wanted to cash in on it...... they didn't realise that listening to music in Crewe next to trains and other industrial eyesores is nothing compared to a Sax in a 16th century hotel  :y
